What does Village of Piermont actually require?

The special permit requirement applies to all single-family, two-family, and multiple-family residential dwellings throughout the village (§ 117-11). Special permit applications are filed with the Building Department with a fee set in the Building Department fee schedule (§ 117-12). The Building Inspector conducts biennial inspections of each STR premises for compliance with Chapter 154 (Property Maintenance), expressly including functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers; violations found on inspection must be remedied within 10 days (§ 117-13). Lawfully licensed commercial hotels/motels and bed-and-breakfast establishments operating exclusively as such under the Village Zoning Code are exempt from the STR special permit requirement. Enforcement: first violation draws a warning from the Building Inspector, subsequent violations are subject to penalties under §§ 117-15 and 117-16 (Art. IV); noncompliance with permit conditions allows revocation after a 60-day cure period, and the village may seek injunctive relief. The governing text is Village of Piermont Code Ch. 117 (Housing Standards), Art. III Short-Term Rental Registry and Permits (§§ 117-11 to 117-13) and § 117-2 Definitions; Local Law No. 7-2022; Local Law No. 7 of 2023.

How short-term rentals are regulated in New York

New York has no single statewide short-term-rental ban. Towns, villages, and cities set their own rules through local ordinances and zoning, so rules can differ sharply between neighboring municipalities in the same county.
Short stays in New York are generally subject to state and local sales tax, and many counties add a local occupancy (hotel/motel) tax, often collected by the booking platform on the host's behalf.
Common local controls include permits or registration, primary-residence requirements, and zoning limits on which districts allow short-term use. In New York, a town and a village inside it can each have their own rule.
Rules change. An ordinance can be added or amended at any time. Always confirm the current rule with the municipality before listing.
